From an assessment of the applicable provisions under the Noosa Plan 2006, the development approval complies
with Council’s strategic outcomes as noted in relevant DEOs and the strategic and overall outcomes of the
Tewantin and Doonan Locality Plan. Our assessment is provided below.

PART 3 DESIRED ENVIRONMENTAL OUTCOMES
  DEOs                                                                 Comments
  The desired environmental outcomes for Noosa Shire are as
  follows—
  a) AGRICULTURE USES
  Agricultural industry is maintained by—                              (a) (i) – (ix) The site has very limited opportunity for viable
       i) conserving land for economically viable and                  and sustainable rural production or agricultural purposes.
             environmentally sustainable agricultural purposes;        This is due to the sites location adjoining urban development
       ii) preventing the fragmentation of agricultural land;          as well as limitations due to environmental constraints and
       iii) facilitating the growth of non-traditional, though         limited area. The proposal therefore does not fragment or
             high value, crops which have minimal impact on            alienate the land given the close proximity of urban
             the natural environment or adjacent crops;                development and limited cleared areas.
       iv) facilitating the growth of non-traditional animal
             husbandry practices such as aquaculture where it
             does not alienate agricultural land or have a
             detrimental impact upon the environment;
       v) protecting agricultural pursuits from incompatible
             uses, particularly those more suitably located
             within the urban growth boundary;
       vi) facilitating the growth of farm forestry practices;
       vii) value adding to farm produce to enhance economic
             viability;
       viii) improving opportunities for mutually beneficial
             enterprises that are complementary to agriculture
             and other non-agricultural uses that do not
             diminish agricultural production such as roadside
             stalls, farm gate sales, home based occupations
             and visitor accommodation; and
       ix) adopting water and energy efficient practices.
  g) OPEN SPACE, ENVIRONMENT & CONSERVATION                            (g) (i) – (xi) - The development protects open space

             vegetated lands, wetlands, watercourses and               through appropriate lot layout design and have also been

             protected to avoid as far as practicable or, where        including:-
             avoidance is not practicable, minimise adverse
             impacts resulting from development.                               Approved Plans – condition 2
       ii) The natural environment is protected and managed                    Park Dedication – conditions 14 & 15
             in a way that—                                                    Reserve/Parkland dedication - conditions 38 to 42
